date_based.archive_month includes too much

[James Bennett]

Per a report on the django-users list, it appears that the fix from #992, which was necessary at the time, is no longer necessary and now causes the archive_month view to include too many days.

I'm not sure if what I have noticed in how date_based generic views work is related to this ticket, but I'll post my observation here, and see if you can confirm it.

I'm using the latest trunk (#5194) with python 2.5 on ubuntu feisty with MySQL 5.0.38.

'archive_month' includes 'Feb-01' if I query for the month of January, but 'archive_year' strips 'Jan-01', while the first day of other months is shown.

This seems to have been fixed somewhere along the line, and I've written tests to prove it.

I haven't separated the patch out from #317 because it's starting to feel like they might as well be the same patch: "Provide basic tests for date-based generic views".

I've included patch for this in #5506 -- the particlar bug this ticket talks about is apparently no longer present, but the test in #5506 should make sure that it never comes back.

i´m using rev 6023 and this issue doesn´t seem to be solved.
